New Technology Helps Sigma Pi Attract Younger, Tech-Savvy Generation of Donors

Tulsa, OK - Today, CharityCall LLC, provider of the second generation mobile giving technology MobileDonor™, is pleased to announce the launch of a client branded mobile giving web application on behalf of the Sigma Pi Educational Fund, Inc. Mobile web users are encouraged to visit the app at www.helpsigmapi.mobi and bookmark it to their home screens.

"The mobile revolution is not only enabling consumers to get what they want when they want it, right from the palm of their hand; it is also equipping them to give what they want when they want, right from the palm of their hand," says Fred Emmer, Vice President of Marketing for CharityCall. "With the explosive growth and deployment of web-enabled SmartPhones and the adoption of our client branded, cloud based giving apps; nimble and forward looking nonprofits like the Sigma Pi Educational Fund can now fully engage with their supporters wherever and whenever they are."

"In today's financially challenged times, we are seeking new ways to equip, engage and empower our supporters to make contributions to social causes," says Jonathon Frost, Chief Operating Officer of the Sigma Pi Educational Fund. "mobileDonor allows us to extend our donor engagement strategies from the part time world of the desktop to the always on world of the web enabled SmartPhone."

"Now our supporters can give any amount they choose right from their smart phones," Frost continued, "and since we now have donor identity information in real time, we expect this will greatly improve our effectiveness in cultivating new and especially younger givers."

"We're thrilled to have the Sigma Pi Educational Fund as our first customer from the Greek philanthropic community," says Robert A. Jones, Founder and President, "We expect their emerging young professional members to be completely comfortable adopting and using the most current mobile giving technology in the marketplace."

MobileDonor™ web apps (www.mobiledonor.cc) are branded for each nonprofit and provide donors with a convenient and transparent way to give with suggested donations of $25, $50, $75 and $100 and are compatible with all wireless carriers in the US. Unlike SMS text donations which limit the size of gifts and withhold the identity of donors, this application allows giving in any denomination and gathers donor identity information through interfaces with PayPal or credit/debit card accounts. An overview of the mobileDonor platform can be viewed at www.youtube.com/mobiledonor.

The app also enables non profits to keep supporters up to date on pertinent news by sending updates from the web that automatically stream directly to the SmartPhone App each time they are opened.
